본 연구에서는 노간주나무 추출물의 항산화 및 ${alpha}$-amylase와 ${alpha}$-glucosidase을 조사하여 항산화소재로 이용하고자 실험하였다. 노간주나무 추출물의 항산화효과를 살펴보기 위하여 총 폴리페놀 함량을 측정한 결과 열수추출물은 71.3mg/g, 에탄올추출물은 116.0 mg/g 함량을 포함하고 있었으며, 플라보노이드 함량은 열수추출물은 17.7 mg/g, 에탄올추출물은 76.4 mg/g 함량을 포함하고 있었다. ABTS 라디칼 소거능을 측정한 결과 $500{mu}g/mL$ 농도에서 열수추출물은 76.4%, 에탄올 추출물은 79.3% 라디칼 소거능을 나타내었다. FRAP 값을 측정한 결과 열수추출물에서 1.83 mM를 에탄올추출물에서 1.77 mM로 열수추출물에서 더 높은 효과를 나타내었다. ACE 활성억제효과는 $500{mu}g/mL$ 농도에서 열수추출물 75.39%, 에탄올 추출물 71.25%로 저해율을 나타내었다. 노간주나무 추출물의 antioxidant protection factor를 측정한 결과 열수추출물의 경우는 1.5 PF, 에탄올추출물의 경우는 2.1 PF를 나타내었다. TBARS 저해율은 $500{mu}g/mL$ 농도에서 열수추출물과 에탄올추출물 각각 55.78%와 71.48%을 나타내었다. ${alpha}$-glucosidase와 ${alpha}$-amylase 저해효과를 측정한 결과 $500{mu}g/mL$ 농도에서 각각 70%와 90% 이상의 저해효과를 나타내어 항산화 및 항당뇨 예방물질 소재로의 활용이 가능할 것으로 판단된다.
In this study, the antioxidant effect of water and ethanol extracts from Juniperus rigida Sieb were investigated. The activities of each of the extracts were measured based on their total phenolic and flavonoid contents and using antioxidant test such as of 2,2-azinobis (3-ethyl benzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid (ABTs) radical scavenging activities, ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP), angiotensin I converting enzyme (ACE) inhibition activity, antioxidant protection fator (PF), thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARs) content, and ${alpha}$-glucosidase and ${alpha}$-amylase inhibition activity assay. The result of the examination to measure the polyphenol content by investigating the antioxidativity of the J. rigida Sieb. extract showed 71.3 mg/g polyphenol content in the water extract, and 116.0 mg/g in the ethanol extract and a 17.7 mg/g flavonoid content in the water extract and in 76.4 mg/g in the ethanol extract. The ABTS radical cation decolorization showed 76.4% and 79.3% scavenging activities of the $500{mu}g/mL$ water extract and ethanol extract, respectively. The FRAP showed 1.83 mM efficacy in the water extract and a lower 1.77 mM in ethanol extract. Both the water extract and the ethanol extract showed reduced ACE activities of 75.39% and 71.25% at $500{mu}g/mL$, respectively. The antioxidant protection factor of the water and 70% ethanol extracts of J. rigida Sieb were 1.5 PF and 2.1 PF, respectively. In the TBARS inhibitory activity, the extracts showed 55.78% and 71.48% antioxidant activities at the $500{mu}g/mL$ concentration. The results of the measurrement of the ${alpha}$-amylase inhibitory activity indicated more than 90% of activity inhibition in the $500{mu}g/mL$ concentration of the ethanol extract. For the ${alpha}$-glucosidase inhibitory activity, the ethanol extract showed 70% activity inhibition at the $500{mu}g/mL$ concentration.
